Welcome to Baltimore City, Maryland
A Proud part of the Genealogy Trails
Group

Hello and welcome to the Genealogy Trails website
for Baltimore City.

Our goal is to help you track your ancestors through time by transcribing genealogical and historical data and
placing it online for the free use of all researchers.
This website is in need of a dedicated host!
This is a continuation of our original
Illinois Genealogy
Trails project and we are excited about this opportunity to
expand into other states. We welcome your feedback and comments, and of course, your data contributions.
We're looking for folks who share our dedication to putting
data online and are interested in helping this project grow.
If you think you might be interested in hosting a county
website such as this one, please view the Volunteer Page for further informationand

The city is named after the founding proprietor of the Maryland Colony, Lord Baltimore
in the Irish House of Lords. Baltimore himself took his title from Baltimore in County Longford in Ireland, which
is the English transliteration of the Irish language Baile an Tí Mór, or "Townland of the big
house".
Baltimore became an independent city in 1851, being separated from Baltimore County at that time.
Baltimore became the second leading port of entry for immigrants to the United States during the 1800s.
The Great Baltimore Fire on February 7, 1904, destroyed over 1,500 buildings in 30
hours and forced most of the city to rebuild.
Baltimore is divided into nine geographical regions- Northern, Northwestern, Northeastern,
Western, Central, Eastern, Southern, Southwestern, and Southeastern
After New York City, Baltimore was the second city in the United States to reach
a population of 100,000, (followed by New Orleans, Philadelphia, Boston). Baltimore was the second largest city
in the nation until 1860, when it was surpassed by Philadelphia
